Anti-Hillary Book coming out

This may be an interesting book to read. I guess conservatives are latching onto the thing to head off a Hillary in '08 push. I agree with this:

Such works, according to former Clinton adviser-turned critic Dick Morris, can backfire.

"Personal attacks on Hillary Clinton and her marriage only tend to invigorate her and permit her to characterize all criticism as extreme and personal," wrote Morris in an e-mail exchange with the AP. He added: "These personal shots obscure the more serious questions about her lack of qualifications to be a good president."

I agree that she is going to use this as an attack by the so-called "vast right-wing conspiracy." It just makes it look like people are out to get her and she can play the victim card. This kind of sympathy should not be underestimated because she is after all the jilted-wife that stood by her man. Even though it was for political gain, I believe that most Americans don't feel this way.

The conservatives pushing this kind of thing so hard makes them look mean-spirited and out to get the Clintonistas no matter what. Let the vendetta die for the time being and character assassinate her when it comes to election time. Tapes of her belittling a subordinate or something like that will get you far more votes then all the hit-pieces in the world.
